We took our fast-drying, 100% recycled polyester Stretch Planing Board Shorts fabric and created the Stretch Terre Planing Hoody—a superlight, full-zip stretch hoody with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and 50+ UPF sun protection, designed to protect from the elements both in and out of the water.

Surf Cloudbreak all morning, kite Swimming Pools all afternoon—the Fiji timetable ain’t half bad. Protecting you from the elements in and out of the water, the Stretch Terre Planing Hoody is made from the same fast-drying fabric as our Stretch Planing Board Shorts. Its superlight, 100% recycled polyester has 2-way mechanical stretch, 50+ UPF sun protection and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish; the fixed 3-panel hood with adjustable drawcords protects from sun and wind and has a snap tab for easy stowing. The full-zip design has a single-pull drawcord hem, and durable elastic cuffs have thumb loops to keep sleeves in place while paddling or kiting. Two self-draining, mesh-lined front slash pockets are secured with corrosion-proof zippers and have zipper pulls for ease of use. Hidden entry detail at bottom- left yoke provides kite harness compatibility; a harness can be hooked in from underneath or worn over the jacket.

Water Resistant

DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Recycled Polyester

In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health.

Today, we’re able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
